You're acting like I made that post after he set the protocol.  The opposite is true...

Also, my one change might not have been missed if he wasn't awash in making 94 other roster moves per week that have no bearing on the outcome of games, like dropping the 4th pinch hitter and picking up a new one several times 

or deciding where the fuck to hit Reggie

lol! All roster moves do impact the games. Okay, the 4th bench hitter may not hit until a few games later, but I want to make sure we have the best guy to deliver a hit and that may be the difference for a win and better positioning in the standings. The Empire holds independent tryouts every week, so we look at all the guys available on the wire! Also, there'll be a roster move for our game next week. Our scouts have came forward with a roster move suggestion specifically for your team due to a better matchup from what we've seen in the sim games we have run against your team. So you just jinxed yourself buddy! We love our chances against your team!

Doran was the Empire killer today! Holy shit, 2 HR's from him and one off the wall? We were one hit away from a big inning, but it never happened. Nice of Leo to not show up today. Bell broke out apparently. Our pitching was good enough, but the hitting just couldn't put a big inning together. Garner was a huge disappointment today. The hitting was just off today, but the game was competitive. Not happy about the 9th because a big inning there and maybe the game turns out differently. Oh well, The Empire will keep fighting and make the playoffs.

Rock solid defense by the Pinkos, Bell broke out of his HR slump, and Doran came up HUGE.

PINKO'd!

[Darky]

Double plays also really halted potential rallies. Our two out hitting was terrible compared to Nacho's. All the breaks went the other way and yet, the game was still competitive. We just need to put it together sooner or later and go on a damn winning streak. That was such an off day for our offense and every single break went Nacho's way. Not to take anything away from the Pinkmen, but that's not the product that should be out there for the Empire. Again, pleased with the pitching, but very disappointed in our hitting, particularly Leo and Garner. And Baylor ended two innings where we had ducks on the pond. He hit bullets, but just at people and a damn diving catch. No panic though, we'll come around.

BILL FUCKING DORAN had two home runs in that game, while Jim Rice, Glenn Davis, and Ruppert Jones have a combined 0 on the season.  Criminy.

Doran's last at bat almost made it three. I think he had a shot off the wall in the 8th.

Yep - I think it was pretty high up on the wall, too.

[Darky]

Doran is a weapon. He played for me in season VI, and he was very productive. Yeah, he almost had 3 jacks with his 765 power and 18 contact. Clearly on the juice. That's a guy who always over-performs.

excerpts from this afternoon's Rock City Chronicle:

Who More Realer? Weed in the 4 Wheeler
Diplomats seek to end 3 game skid

bench coach Jim Jones (pictured left) just received a new shipment and has called a team meeting before tonight's contest. very enthusiastic, he was hyping his players up in classic fashion, trying to rally the struggling Diplomats, who have dropped the last 3 contests, each by a single run. Jones had this quote to share with us as he doled out packages to the team.

"I've seen summers get cold, and playa's do it up until the point that they done and they fold, but we can't succumb to the cold. think right now what we need is to remember we're a team, first, fam. stay in the van, listen to cam."

manager Cam'ron (pictured right) was in a calm and collected mood, assuring his players they are right on track. seen wearing an ozzie smith jersey, some of he media wondered if the trade rumors surrounding the Dipset clubhouse involve the EZ Listeners shortstop.

[Darky]

Love it nomaaa! May I suggest to buy some winter coats cuz playa's 'bout to goez wonder bread cracka wit dat ice chill dat fauna come wit it like'uh nuclear winter ... holmes.

[Nacho]

That game is sped up too fast to be watchable.

[fightonusc]

Fixed.

[Darky]

lol! ASF must have been out partying hard last night at one of the RC's hip hop clubs! Somebody bring in the slump buster for McLane's hitters!


aaaaand, Reggie didn't go deep! The Rock on the other hand and the CandyMan! Viola and Key were on today.

[nomaaa]

Rock City bench coach Jim Jones was especially hype in the Dipset clubhouse after Thursday afternoon's victory, blasting his 2006 hit "We Fly High." at full volume and walking with a limp.
